It is an object of the present invention to provide another wind turbine structure, it allows to optimize while moment of flexure is reduced The weight of wind turbine tower and offshore ground.
The content of the invention
The purpose of the present invention realizes that wind turbine structure includes by the method for the weight of optimizing wind turbine structure The wind turbine on offshore ground is arranged on, the wind turbine includes rotor, the rotor has at least two wind turbines Machine blade and rotor hub, wind turbine also include wind turbine tower, wherein the method comprising the steps of:
- wind turbine is provided, the distance between extreme lower position of sea level and wind turbine blade tip be equal to or Less than 20 meters,
- wave height is at least measured,
- according to the wave height operation wind turbine measured,
If-the wave height at least measured exceeds predetermined threshold value, by rotor fixed position in rest position, in the position wind turbine Spacing between machine blade and sea level is maximum.
This provides the extreme lower position and mean sea level or nominal sea level by reducing wind turbine blade tip Between spacing, the simple and easy method of the weight of optimizing wind turbine and the weight of offshore ground.Or, sea level can determine Justice is the mean sea level of flood tide or the mean sea level of ebb.For example, sea level can be defined as the astronomical tidal potential of highest (HAT) sea level or the sea level of ordinary high water springs position (MHWS).Ballast system is not needed according to wind speed or extreme Carry out RELATIVE SEA LEVEL in the case of wind regime and wind turbine is raised and lowered.This method is particularly suitable for two panels or three The wind turbine of piece wind turbine blade.
This arrangement provides another method of operation wind turbine, it allows to reduce tower height, and thus this also contract The short moment arm of wind turbine structure.This moment of flexure for allowing wind turbine to be subject to can be substantially reduced, and thus save wind The material and cost of power turbine pylon.This configuration also allows the size and weight for reducing offshore ground, because reducing by wind Power turbine makes the stress and moment of flexure that offshore ground is subject to, therefore the further cost of reduction offshore ground.
It is according to the numerical value measured from various sensors or measuring unit, and/or the reasons why operation wind turbine, such as high Wave, extreme wind regime, maintenance work, emergency or security situation as described below, rotor such as wind turbine blade, It is parked in one or more predeterminated positions.Rotor can stay in a position so that in wind turbine blade it is at least a piece of with Direction extension parallel with respect to wind turbine tower or vertical.Preferably, rotor stays in wind turbine blade and Hai Ping There is the position of ultimate range between face.
According to one embodiment, predetermined threshold value is 18 meters or smaller, between preferably 5 to 15 meters.
Wind turbine, such as its control unit, monitor the wave height measured, and if the wave height measured exceeds at least one Individual predetermined threshold value, activates parked program.Threshold value can be 18 meters or less, preferably 5 to 15 meters between, such as 10 meters or 12 meters. Wave height can be measured as the distance from crest to trough, or from mean sea level to the amplitude of crest.The amplitude is used subsequently to Calculate wave height.Or, wave height can be defined as the significant wave height (SWH) in preset period of time.
According to one embodiment, this method also includes determining that a piece of blade at least two panels wind turbine blade is long Ratio between degree and the tower height of wind turbine tower, the wherein ratio of the wind turbine are more than 0.5.
The configuration causes the longitudinal length of every wind turbine blade, such as length of blade, with wind turbine tower Longitudinal length, the ratio of such as tower height, can compared to conventional wind turbine increase.In conventional wind turbine, Wind turbine layouts is so that its tower height having are at least twice of length of blade.This means to conventional wind whirlpool The ratio of turbine, its length of blade and tower height is less than 0.5, but this configuration enables wind turbine to have reduction Tower height, while maintaining the length of wind turbine blade.Due to shortening moment arm, it reduce the pitch velocity of cabin And acceleration.This also a saving the material and weight on wind turbine tower top, because the material that the rigidity needed for realizing needs Material is less, has thus saved cost.
Tower height can be selected as so that when the wind turbine blade tip of wind turbine structure is rotated most The spacing having between lower position and sea level is equal to or less than 20 meters, preferably between 10 meters and 18 meters, such as 12 meters Or 15 meters.
According to one embodiment, if the wave height measured is equal to or less than threshold value, wind turbine is normally to run mould Formula is run.

In another embodiment, if the wave height measured is equal to or less than threshold value, wind turbine is normally to start mould Formula is run.If the wind speed measured is less than specified or nominal wind velocity, and is alternatively equal to or greater than default incision wind speed, wind-force Turbine is run with normal startup mode.In this operational mode, wind turbine blade is according to predetermined power situation Variable Pitch It is 0 to propeller pitch angle, such as to produce maximum power output.This allows wind turbine persistently to generate electricity as described above.
According to one embodiment, if the wave height measured is higher than threshold value, wind turbine is run with shutdown mode.
If detecting high wave, the wave height for example measured exceeds threshold value, and wind turbine and therefore rotor are from just Regular operation mode or start-up mode disconnect, and are converted into shutdown mode.In shutdown mode, control unit closes wind turbine Machine, such as its drive mechanism, make it produce power-off really.Alternatively, power conversion unit cut-out external electrical network network.Wind-force whirlpool The position that load in turbine blade feather to feather position or wind turbine blade is minimized.Can also be former due to other Cause, such as extreme wind regime, maintenance work, security situation as described below or whether detect failure or emergency, will Wind turbine switches to shutdown mode by control unit.
In shutdown mode, rotor goes to rest position, and is optionally locked to the position, for example, pass through locked rotor system System.Brakes, such as hydraulic pressure or mechanical brake device, can be used for the rotation of braking/stopping rotor.Besides or furthermore ground, The feather of wind turbine blade and/or the engine of reversing mode operation can be used to carry out brake rotors and rotated to stopping Seated position.According to the wind speed and/or wave height or other reasonses measured, such as maintenance work, therefore rotor and wind turbine Blade can stay in one or more predeterminated positions.
If wind turbine is two-blade wind turbine, then wind turbine blade can be parked in horizontal level or hang down Straight position.In upright position, wind turbine blade is with parallel to the extension of the direction of wind turbine tower, wherein wind turbine A piece of in machine blade extends downwardly along wind turbine tower.In horizontal level, wind turbine blade is with perpendicular to wind-force The direction extension of turbine pylon.It reduce in extreme circumstances, such as billow exceedes cut-out wind speed beyond threshold value or wind speed When, wave impacts the risk of wind turbine blade.If wind turbine is three blade wind turbine, then wind turbine The a piece of upright position being parked in parallel to wind turbine tower in machine blade.In upright position, a piece of wind turbine leaf Piece is extended downwardly along wind turbine tower or upwardly extended away from wind turbine tower.If this piece of wind turbine leaf Piece is upward and away from wind turbine tower, then just reduce the wind that wave under extreme case impacts wind turbine blade Danger.
According to a specific embodiment, the method further comprises predeterminable area of the monitoring relative to offshore ground, wherein If detecting at least one movement target in this region, wind turbine is further run with shutdown mode.
Under security situation, wind turbine is run with shutdown mode, and wherein rotor is parked in predeterminated position, for example institute above The horizontally or vertically position stated.The monitoring system for being connected to control unit detects any ship, need to rescue people, even with Helicopter in wind turbine structure pre-determined distance.If detecting target within this distance, then control unit is closed such as Upper described wind turbine.Monitoring system is defined around the place of safety of wind turbine, therefore reduction wind turbine blade Strike the risk of ship in place of safety, distress personnel or helicopter.
Alternatively, monitoring system can determine that direction and the speed of ship, distress personnel or helicopter, therefore allow wind-force Turbine only it is determined that target close to wind turbine in the case of shut down.Or, if control unit or monitoring system System is received from the remote site or the command signal of remote unit transmissions positioned at ship or helicopter, and wind turbine can be closed Close.Alternatively, the position according to the target relative to the orientation such as yaw angle of wind turbine rotor, and/or according to institute Wind turbine blade optionally can be parked in upright position or horizontal position by the type of the target detected, control unit Put.In addition, can also determine the rest position of wind turbine blade with the wave height and/or wind speed that measure.
According to one embodiment, positioning step also includes going off course cabin to rest position, and in the rest position, rotor is set Put in the opposite side for providing the outer ladder to the passage of wind turbine.
Under shutdown mode, cabin is gone off course to predeterminated position, and alternatively, is locked in the position, for example, locked by going off course Determine system.The yaw system active yawing being arranged on wind turbine, or utilization can be used to act on rotor for cabin Wind passive yawing.Cabin and therefore rotor can be positioned on the outer ladder or other for providing the passage for arriving wind turbine structure In the opposite side for structure of going on board.Can be before wind turbine blade goes to rest position, be during or after gone off course. Any maintenance ship of this permission moves to the position of relative wind turbine outer platform, even if blade is parked in upright position.
One object of the present invention also realizes that the wind turbine structure includes by a kind of wind turbine structure:
